  • The DO Loop:
    • A DO loop is a "counting loop" that executes for each count from a start value to an end value (with an optional non-one increment).
      DO <count> <start> <end> <inc>
        ...
      ENDDO
      For example:
      DO count 1 7 1
        say "The count is at ^count"
      ENDDO
      
    • See the DO explain file for more details.
